Two Atlantis hotels are in the Stanza collection; one holds five-star standing. Both are in a single destination: Dubai, at the center of the crescent of Palm Jumeirah. Atlantis is the resort brand of Kerzner, born on Paradise Island in the Bahamas and brought to Dubai in 2008, when Atlantis, The Palm opened at the center of the crescent with Aquaventure Waterpark and The Lost Chambers Aquarium inside its gates; in February 2023 Kerzner opened Atlantis The Royal next door, Kohn Pedersen Fox's stacked-block resort of 760 rooms and 102 suites, 44 of them with private pools, with Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, FZN and Row on 45 at table. Atlantis The Royal holds five-star standing; Atlantis, The Palm is a four-star address and is listed as such. Each page shows a reference rate per night, and the concierge confirms exact rates and availability before anything is booked.

Good to know

Where does Stanza list Atlantis hotels?

In a single destination, Dubai, and in a single district: Palm Jumeirah, the man-made palm off the Al Sufouh shore. Both stand at the center of the crescent, the long outer arc with the open sea on its far side, next door to each other: Atlantis The Royal, opened in February 2023, and Atlantis, The Palm, the resort of 2008, with Aquaventure Waterpark and The Lost Chambers Aquarium inside the older resort's gates, the Palm Monorail running from the crescent to Nakheel Mall and the trunk, and the towers of Dubai Marina across the water.

What distinguishes the Atlantis hotels in the collection?

Each was admitted on its own merits, one hotel at a time, never by brand. The two are the brand's Dubai, side by side on the crescent: the resort of 2008 that put a waterpark and an aquarium inside a hotel, with AWAKEN Wellness as its spa and the beach on the crescent, and the building of 2023 by Kohn Pedersen Fox — 760 rooms and 102 suites stacked in blocks, 44 of them with private pools, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, FZN and Row on 45 at table and an AWAKEN Wellness of its own. Atlantis The Royal holds five-star standing; Atlantis, The Palm holds four-star standing, and we list it at exactly that tier.

When is the best time to stay at an Atlantis hotel?

Both are in Dubai, so one season governs them. The winter, from late October to April, is the season: days in the mid-twenties, a sea warm enough to swim in off the crescent and the beach, the pools and the waterpark at their best. The weeks that fill first run from mid-December through the New Year's Eve fireworks and on into the Dubai Shopping Festival in January, the tennis in February and the Dubai World Cup at Meydan at the end of March. From June to September the heat is the fact of the day, with afternoons past forty degrees, the sea as warm as a bath and life indoors and in chilled pools, and the resorts are at their quietest; May and October are the shoulders, hot but usable, with the sea at its best. Ramadan moves about eleven days earlier each year, and the Dubai page carries its note on it. The concierge advises on dates for a specific hotel.

How do I reserve an Atlantis hotel through Stanza?

Search your dates on the hotel's page to see reference rates, then send the concierge a request. The concierge confirms exact rates and availability with you before anything is booked, and any payment and its timing are set out before you confirm.
